Materials developed on the base of basalts of European North of Russia

The texture and chemical compositions of some basalts of the European North of Russia have been investigated. Modules of density and viscosity are estimated. The possibility of obtaining thin staple and continuous basalt fibers is shown. Technological schemes for the manufacture of materials based on such fibers are considered. Comparative characteristics of various types of fibers and products made from them are given. The financial and economic indicators of the organization of production of basalt fibers and related products are presented. Tab. 3, ill. 4.
